Turn Insight to Action

Transform raw data into actionable information. It’s every institution’s vision for continuous improvement.

Blackboard provides two learning assessment tools for data-driven decision-making to help build a better education experience: Blackboard Learn™ for Outcomes Assessment and Blackboard Analytics™. Both solutions turn data about student learning and institutional operations into information that can be aggregated, integrated, and easily understood by stakeholders. You’ll have all the evidence you need to showcase your success, make data-driven decisions, and demonstrate your ongoing improvement.

Institutional Learning Assessment Tools and Accreditation Management

Blackboard Learn for Outcomes Assessment supports an institution’s need to systematize and automate the collection student work for rubric-based evaluation and reporting related to their accreditation and improvement efforts. Our solution is tightly integrated on the tool your faculty and staff know best: Blackboard Course Delivery.

By relying on course-embedded assessment methods, your assessment staff can leverage work already being done by faculty and students in online or face-to-face classrooms for program and institutional assessment with minimal impact to instructors and their existing teaching and learning activities, while still supporting highly authentic assessment practices.

Institutions across the globe have used this powerful solution to:

• Implement Course-Embedded Assessment to quickly and easily measure
  student learning
• Demonstrate Improvement and Achievement for accreditation
• Turn Insight about Learning into action for continuous improvement
